Air Turks & Caicos changes name

Turks & Caicos Islands flag carrier Air Turks & Caicos said it is changing of its name to InterCaribbean Airways.

According to the carrier, the “interCaribbean” name was chosen to reflect the greater Pan-Caribbean expansion of air service in the Western Caribbean in the coming months.

The carrier said it has hatched a new slogan adopted to reflect the mission: “Connecting you and the Caribbean.”

For the first time, travelling between the islands of Western Caribbean may take an hour or two instead of a day or two. For years the ability for business and leisure explorers to travel between the islands has been nearly impossible.

With the forthcoming expansion of air services, the citizens, residents and visitors will be able to travel faster and easier to create new business and leisure opportunities.

Air Turks & Caicos operates a fleet of Embraer (NYSE: ERJ) 120 and Beech 99 aircrafts, servicing flights domestically to Grand Turk and South Caicos, and International flights to Santo Domingo, Puerto Plata, Santiago in the Dominican Republic, Cap Haitien and Port Au Prince in Haiti, Kingston in Jamaica and Nassau in the Bahamas.
